Difference between Stellar classification and Variable star

Stellar classification vs. Variable star

In astronomy, stellar classification is the classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics. A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude) fluctuates.

Similarities between Stellar classification and Variable star

Stellar classification and Variable star have 31 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apparent magnitude, Astronomical spectroscopy, Beta Lyrae, Betelgeuse, Carbon, Chi Cygni, Degenerate matter, Deneb, Dwarf star, Galaxy, Gamma Cassiopeiae, Giant star, Gravity, Guest star (astronomy), Helium, Hydrogen, Hypergiant, Main sequence, Metallicity, Neutron star, Nitrogen, Nuclear fusion, Oxygen, P Cygni, Spectral line, Star, Stellar classification, Stellar population, Sun, Supergiant star, ..., White dwarf.

Astronomical spectroscopy

Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and radio, which radiates from stars and other celestial objects.
